Jaakon elämässä tapahtuu paljon muutoksia. Hänestä on tulossa isoveli ja pian myös koululainen.

Jo ennen siskon syntymää selviää, että tämä tulee elämään muiden ihmisten ja vaativan hoidon varassa. Välillä vanhemmat eivät osaa eivätkä jaksa vastata Jaakko-veljen kysymyksiin, mutta onneksi tukena on myös mummi. Yhdessä perhe pohtii, miten vammaista siskoa voidaan parhaiten auttaa.

Helmi-sisko on veljelleen rakas. Jaakko on iloinen, että sisko näyttää ainakin kuulevan hänen äänensä ja tuntevan silityksen ihollaan. Yhteinen elämä alkaa.
